DASH diet

[Ginafish]

If you've ever known someone with high blood pressure, they probably know what DASH stands for. Basically, it's low sodium.

Here's a link to some DASH friendly recipe sites:

Their link to the almond recipes was a broken link, but I found the sneaky link anyway! Bwahaha!

Wow! Ginafish, those recipes sound really delicious. I think this would be something Gwiz and I would definitely be interested in! Thanks a lot!

Ginafish, GREAT link!  We have a medical clinic on-site where I work and a while back, my bloodpressure was high at 145/90.  I was super stressed at work AND at home, but I had no idea my BP was that high.  Its been 110/70 for as far back as I can remember.  They actually told me to follow-up with my dr and they gave me a DASH diet plan book.

It is a very good plan and easy to incorporate if you like fruits and veggies!   

(I had to initially cut this post short as a friend of mine showed up for some help with a video.)  Anyhoo....my BP as of last week was back down to 117/76.

  I'm baking the "Pear-Almond Tea Cake" recipe I found on the Dash diet today.  I'll let you know how it turns out. It sounds really good. Yummm.

For dinner tonight I'm making a hearty soup with chicken, vegetables and barley. We'll have some rustic plain baguette spread with "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" spread. Sorry,no real butter for us. This spread actually tastes pretty good.
